[Seahawk]

I rented a Suburban this past week in Montana. I put over 1500 miles on it, from Decker to Whitefish and all points in between. There were three of us and a lot of gear. The roads varied from gravel to interstate, mountains to Prairies, even did Glacier. The rental had 17k on it when we picked it up. We did not use the third seat due to gear

The Good

- Large hauling capacity (duh) but drives like a smaller SUV (I have a Toyota 4Runner). I never felt constrained by the Subs size.

- Nice interior. Mine had leather, etc. Great seat heat.

- The multifunction rear cargo door was great.

- Sunroof was huge.

- Dual climate controls and headsets were great.

The Bad

- Noisy...I was surprised at the amount of wind noise at 75/80 mph.

- The ergonomics of the various controls took a bit getting used to.

- Rattled just a bit...nothing annoying but it was noticeable at times.

- The engine/transmission combo was a bit disappointing. It really hunted for gears and the downshift was annoying on even small hills, especially in cruise control. I would definitely look at the 3/4 ton with the biggest motor available.

Overall I was very satisfied. I am looking for a large SUV as well and that was one of the reasons I rented the Sub.
